She seems like a modern day Fanny Longfellow-intelligent, kind and caring. Her feelings for Lucas seemed fairly obvious and since it's the 21st century, I don't know why she didn't talk to him about his feelings! He is a modern day Henry-sensitive, deeply caring and unsure of himself. I liked him a lot but again, I felt like he was ignoring the obvious and wringing his hands too much. The story spends more time with the Morans. Alex is such a typical 10 year old boy.
He has to be modeled after someone because he reminded me so much of my downstairs neighbor-also 10 with ADHD! Charlotte reminded me a lot of myself. I liked the siblings rivalry. It felt real to me. The lengthy backstory of Laurie and Jason is sweet but not at all necessary. He's a lot of fun and she's down-to-earth. I liked them but I didn't need to spend so much time with them to be eager to find out what happens to Jason!
Christmas Bells
I love Father Ryan! I never thought I'd say that about a priest, being a historian and feeling the same way as Liam. He's fun and lively and I get the sense he was a ladies' man in college. He is devoted to the community and helping the people.

I did not need to read the theological debate about sports-boring and unnecessary to the overall plot! Who cares if God wants the Bruins or Penguins to win? Go Bruins, obviously! Also not necessary was his family drama. Camille and Paul's story is all telling and no showing aside from the scenes where she is going through his office.
Stop right there! Call an archivist! Those papers belong in the state archive! The details were wonderful and I felt Camille's grief. She serves as a catalyst for the final action but is otherwise not important to the plot. Paul, while a wonderful man and a uniquely caring politician, was also not needed. The piano was donated by a local son made good is enough.
I don't regret reading this novel but it was long and rambling. Tightened up and without the obvious deus ex machina, it would be a better story.

I wish I had an audio of this story. The Madison Children's Choir that inspired the novel doesn't have a video of them singing this song online. I found some but they weren't quite as described in the novel. Dec 15, Don rated it really liked it. The lead character in this book, Sophia, obviously agrees with me. She is a dedicated music teacher who has just learned that her Boston based music program will soon be the victim of budget cuts.
She is, of course, worried about how she will earn a living and even more worried about the impact these cuts will have on her students. Sophia has volunteered to produce a Christmas concert at her local church and chooses to honor Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, a local hero, by having the chorus render his poem.
The chapters in this novel alternate between the story of Sophia and her students and that of the remarkable events which inspired the Longfellow poem. Surprisingly, this strategy proves extremely effective.
While I will admit that I preferred the historically based chapters, Sophia's modern day tale added a great deal to my reading pleasure. I kept thinking about how many lives will be touched by Longfellow's poem over the centuries. In its own small and simple way, Chiaverini's novel stands as a tribute to the transformative power of literature. Reading it as we celebrate our own traditions seems wise indeed.

Perhaps 4. Well written, with informative historical sections that look at Longfellow's family and life in s Boston, as backdrop and the climate when his poem, "Christmas Bells," was written. This is often sung as an anthem or hymn in churches at Christmas time. The entire poem is reproduced at the beginning of the book, and I had not realized or remembered its connection to the American Civil war in verses that are largely forgotten today.
The alternate contemporary chapters of this Perhaps 4. This device works fairly well, as all perspectives merge at the penultimate choir practice before the Christmas Eve children's choir concert. There is no bad language or inappropriate behavior in this book, and it mostly manages to stay away from saccharine sweetness or melancholy.
I really enjoyed reading this book, the first of this author's works I've read. Oct 30, Kim rated it it was ok. Dec 13, Cathy Daniel rated it really liked it. Really loved this book. I do wish there was more closure at the end but the stage was set for the happy endings. I just thought I hanged in here so long with these people, can I get an epilogue?

Dec 25, Kris - My Novelesque Life rated it it was ok. I have mostly liked Chiaverini's novels but this one just sunk for me. I was really curious to read this one as I have always like the poem "Christmas Bells" and this novel was set both in the present and past. I liked the first chapter of the present day story and then after that I could not get into the story. With Longfellow's story I hung on for a few chapters and then found myself fading.
There was no character I could anchor myself to so that I could keep reading. It was pure strength and curiosity that got me through this book because I needed to know if it gets better. Unfortunately, it didn't. I would highly recommend her novel The Spymistress.
Great characters and story. Jan 12, Suze Lavender rated it it was amazing. Sophia and Lucas are both volunteers at St. Lucas is playing the piano and Sophia is the choirmaster. Together they're teaching the children of their choir Christmas songs.
